After Madeline pushed the door open, virtual-novel.net could smell the stench of alcohol.
It had been three years. She never thought that virtual-novel.net would come back to this place. What shocked virtual-novel.net even more was when virtual-novel.net pushed the door open, the decorations and renovation were still the same as back then.
Everything in front of virtual-novel.net eyes was the same as three years ago. There were not many changes.
Madeline walked forward slowly with puzzlement. The apartment was not big, so when virtual-novel.net walked in, virtual-novel.net spotted Jeremy right away.
He was leaning against the sofa while sitting on the floor. His eyes were closed, making virtual-novel.net look lazy and carefree.
The collar of his white shirt was opened and his collarbone was showing.
His cheeks were red while his pale lips were wet. It seemed as if virtual-novel.net had just drunk some wine. On the coffee table in front of virtual-novel.net were two bottles of opened wine.
Madeline looked curiously at the man who appeared drunk.
‘Jeremy, what the hell are you doing?
‘Are you here to drink your sorrows away?’
Madeline walked over with caution. “Jeremy.”
She called out softly, “This is Vera. Why are you drunk here?”
Jeremy opened his dazed eyes when virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net voice.
However, when virtual-novel.net looked at the smiling face through his dazed eyes, the alcohol in his eyes evaporated immediately. They became crystal clear in an instant.
He sat up immediately and pulled Madeline into his arms.
Madeline was caught off guard and got pulled into his embrace. He was holding virtual-novel.net tightly.
His body temperature was high, almost burning virtual-novel.net through his shirt.
Madeline wanted to escape from virtual-novel.net but Jeremy only tightened his grip on her. It was as if virtual-novel.net was trying to melt virtual-novel.net into his body.
“You’re back. It’s good now that you’re back. It’s good…” virtual-novel.net muttered in virtual-novel.net ear, his cheek pressing up against hers tightly. He nuzzled against virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net muttered his longing for her.
“Please don’t leave me again, okay?”
His low and gentle voice was filled with pleas.
Madeline lifted virtual-novel.net eyebrow, and virtual-novel.net was sure that Jeremy was mistaking virtual-novel.net for another woman.
It was either Meredith or the woman Jeremy wanted to give the roses to.
“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. Please give me another chance. Give me another chance to love you, okay?”
Jeremy’s apologies lingered in virtual-novel.net ear. He was holding virtual-novel.net with his fingers in virtual-novel.net hair. His warm hand was caressing virtual-novel.net head softly.
While they were intertwined in each other’s arms, virtual-novel.net buried his head in virtual-novel.net neck like virtual-novel.net was longing for her, or perhaps, virtual-novel.net was lusting for her. He had a satisfied grin on his face now.
“I never had the chance to tell you this, but I finally have the chance now.”
When Madeline was about to push Jeremy away and stand up, virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net saying that.
She stopped in virtual-novel.net tracks, and then, virtual-novel.net heard Jeremy’s deep voice gliding into virtual-novel.net ears.
“I love you.”
‘I love you.’
These three words traveled into Madeline’s ears clearly.
She froze as virtual-novel.net heart skipped a beat.
For some reason, virtual-novel.net felt tears stinging the corner of virtual-novel.net eyes.
He said the words ‘I love you’.
Madeline curled the corners of virtual-novel.net lips in amusement. As virtual-novel.net was smiling, virtual-novel.net eyes were wet with tears.
She remembered back when virtual-novel.net was blind, Jeremy had pressed virtual-novel.net roughly against the floor right here before grabbing virtual-novel.net hand and forcing virtual-novel.net to sign the divorce papers.
She would never forget what virtual-novel.net had said to her. He said, “Are you still so naive to think that I have feelings for you even until now?”
He had also said, “Madeline, listen here. I’ve never liked you, let alone loved. Not even a little bit.”
Tears blurred virtual-novel.net vision just like back then.
However, virtual-novel.net did not let the tears flow down virtual-novel.net face.
Madeline made up virtual-novel.net mind and pushed Jeremy away.
Jeremy could not fight back at all. He collapsed on the floor after Madeline pushed virtual-novel.net away.
She looked at the man who looked like virtual-novel.net had fallen asleep. There was resentment and hatred in virtual-novel.net eyes as virtual-novel.net clenched virtual-novel.net fists tightly.
She was about to leave when virtual-novel.net saw something next to Jeremy’s hand.
